Nawazuddin Siddiqui's transformation for MOM will leave you surprised

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is almost unrecognisable in the upcoming film - Mom, took a huge leap of faith and completely followed director Ravi Udyawar's vision. Apart from a gruelling hair and make up session that lasted almost 4 hours, the powerhouse performer chose to sport basic kurtas and shirts sourced from the local markets in Delhi.

In fact, the actor was so absorbed in his character that even the locals in Chandni Chowk Delhi (where the team shot several portions of the film) didn't recognise him.

Director Ravi Udyawar says, " There is a reason audiences and the industry alike refer to Nawazuddin as one of the finest actors in the country. When I explained the look to him , he was really excited because it gave him the opportunity to do something different. As an actor, he is constantly on the lookout for doing something that challenges him. He got on the sets, sat through hours of hair and makeup. hE walked around the local streets, wearing basic clothes picked off the street and yet managed to steal the show."

Funnily enough, on the first day of shoot, Mom's lead protagonist Sridevi walked in on the sets asking to meet Siddiqui, completely unaware that it was the actor himself standing next to her in his unrecognisable avatar. Mom starring Sridevi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna releases July 7, 2017.

Riteish turns Sansani host with 'Sansanaati Chori Fails'

Just when you thought Riteish Deshmukh has nailed it with his 'Bakwaas with Bank Chor' series, out comes a 7 minute short titled Sansanaati Chori Fails, a hilarious sketch packed with the most stupidest failed robberies of all time.

In the video, Deshmukh, who plays the lead in Bank Chor, pays tribute to sensational crime show anchors (remember those 'Sannate ko chirti sansani' episodes?) as host Champak Chandrakant Chiplunkar. Inspired by true-life thefts gone horribly wrong (apparently). For the team, it was a no-brainer to also cast Gulab and Genda to recreate the 'choris', as they also play Bank Chors in the film. Through this wacky short, Deshmukh helps unmask the two guys underneath the ‘haathi’ and ‘ghoda’ masks, that are featured prominently in the Bank Chor trailer and campaign, and warns people that the two are only getting started.

Deshmukh says, “Ever since the trailer of Bank Chor released, everyone’s been asking me who are the people underneath the ‘haathi’ and ‘ghoda’ masks? So, I took it upon myself to introduce Gulab and Genda to the world through a special short. I hope the two get as much love (or humiliation) as Champak does!” Adds Ashish Patil, “The Bank Chors aren’t alone, as this short also pays a tribute to the stupidity of stupid chors from all over India. And I’m sure they will all identify with this. For the rest, come laugh at them, as they screw up every single job and chori they have ever tried, before they fail in the most epic manner at a bank job!”

Bank Chor, directed by Bumpy and produced by Ashish Patil of Y-Films, is all set to release in theatres on June 16.

Ranveer Suffers Injury On The Sets of Padmavati

Despite an injury, the actor continues shooting for the film

That Ranveer Singh gives his all and more to a role is known to all. His recent injury while playing Alauddin Khilji for Padmavati reiterates his dedication and faith.

While filming the climax of Padmavati, Ranveer injured himself on the head.The injury needed immediate medical attention, but the actor didn’t let this interfere with the shoot. A source close to the actor said, “Ranveer hurt himself on the head while shooting for the film during a particular take, but he was so engrossed in the performance, that he did not realise it till the cut was called. It's only after he started bleeding profusely from the head, which was after the shot was cut, that everyone realised he was hurt badly. Ranveer received initial first aid on the set and was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for immediate treatment. He completed the basic treatment and returned to the film's set to complete his portions of the shoot. Rather than letting his injury slow him down or impact the shoot, Ranveer completed the day’s work. He requires stitches on the head. Rarely do you see a star with such dedication and commitment."

Playing Alauddin Khilji has been demanding on Ranveer, both physically and emotionally, given the role’s negative and dark side. This injury just reflects how tough this part has been on the actor, but knowing Ranveer he will conquer the odds smoothly.

Here's how Hrithik discovered his abilities as an artist

It's amazing how India's very own greek god - Hrithik Roshan, has shown his versatility with different roles and memorable performances in the last 17 years. Right from portraying characters that possess supreme talent and superpowers in films like Dhoom 2 and Krissh to essaying historic characters like Akbar quite skilfully, Hrithik has done it all. He is also perhaps the only mainstream Bollywood actor to have successfully essayed differently abled characters in multiple films, including Koi Mil Gaya, Guzaarish and the recently released, Kaabil. The film saw Hrithik playing a visually impaired man taking revenge for the love of his life. Kaabil went on to earn accolades, with some calling it the actor's career best performance.

It won't be wrong to say that Hrithik’s performance in Kaabil played a major part in the film’s success. But for the actor, success is not the only takeaway from this film. He says, “I am really glad that the film has done well, but as actors, we also look for something more permanent than box office success. While filming Kaabil, I was going through a difficult time in my life. I needed to fight my own limitations in order to play this character.” Be it Rohit of Koi Mil Gaya, Ellen Masceranhas of Guzaarish or Rohan Bhatnagar of Kaabil; each character connected with the audiences in it's own way. Although they are different films and roles, there was a common thread in the way Hrithik played these characters. "All of them are emotionally intelligent. Perhaps, I could connect with these characters at some level.I have had my own struggles with my physical self.I did stammer as a kid and I am aware how socially awkward and debilitating it can get,” he stated.

While further talking about his takeaway from Kaabil, Hrithik said, "More than the accolades and box office success, what will remain with me is an invaluable understanding. I perhaps realised for the first time that the phrase 'differently abled' is not a polite word for disabled people. They are actually differently abled. I didn’t play Rohan Bhatnagar as a disabled guy, I played a guy who believes in himself. My way of seeing them has changed forever.”

Well, we couldn't agree more! We hope more and more people around us realise the importance of this. More power to you, Hrithik.

Right from featuring as the cover girl on some of the most popular magazines to appearing on talk shows and stealing our hearts at red-carpet events; it won't be wrong to say that PeeCee is now America’s very own sweetheart.

Chopra gathered much praise for her custom-made hand-embroidered golden outfit from Ralph Lauren at the Golden Globes earlier this year.

When Shahid forged a special bond with a commando on the sets of Rangoon!

Shahid Kapoor, who shot for portions of Rangoon in Pasighat (Arunachal Pradesh), bonded big time with a commando stationed in the state, while shooting for the film.

A source close to the unit adds, "Shahid and Bomi spent several days together while shooting Rangoon.

Makar Sankranti gets a Garba twist with Raees

Festivals in India always provide a perfect backdrop for music, dance, costumes and lavish sets to Bollywood filmmakers. Right from Ganesh Chaturthi to Diwali, Holi to Janmashtami, Bollywood films celebrate popular festivals with much fanfare and enthusiasm.

Makers of Raees came up with the perfect surprise for upcoming Makar Sankranti festival, albeit with a twist. They have added a beautiful touch of Garba and voila! The result is a melodious, foot tapping number titled Udi Udi Jaaye, which was released earlier today. We couldn't take our eyes off SRK and Mahira's sizzling chemistry, as they danced their way into our hearts with this vibrant, beautiful number. Interestingly, this is also the first time Shah Rukh Khan will be seen doing Garba on screen. Composed by Ram Sampath with lyrics by Javed Akhtar, Udi Udi Jaye is sung by Sukhwinder Singh, Bhoomi Trivedi and Karsan Sagathia.

Director Rahul Dholakia says, “Uttarayan is one of the biggest festivals in Gujarat and Garba is our state dance. No film rooted in Gujarat can be complete without having either of them. A majority of the writers were gujjus and we decided to incorporate a special song which also takes the story forward.”

The filmmaker adds that a special manja (thread) was called in from Surat, “SRK’s character in the film loves to fly kites and is an expert at cutting other people’s kites. There is a dialogue in the film where Shah Rukh says, ‘Agar Katne ka darr hota na, toh patang nahi chadhata, firki pakadta.’ To give the authenticity to the character we decided to use Surti manjha, which is razor sharp. A couple of times during the shoot, he actually cut his fingers,” he says. Well, like they say - no pain, no gain! The result is truly beautiful and we can't wait for January 25, 2017 already.

Love in the time of War

The much anticipated Rangoon trailer is out and clearly, it is ready to set the screens on fire

After his last film in 2015 - Haider (the epic poetry in motion), film maker Vishal Bhardwaj is back with a bang. This year, he promises a visual treat in the form of a period love drama, titled Rangoon. The film is one of 2017's most anticipated films. Earlier today, three interesting film posters featuring the lead cast were launched online. But of course, what got us completely mind blown was the epic trailer of the film. Gotta admit, every frame of the beautiful trailer is mind-friggin-blowing!

The film is set in 1944, a time when the world was at war and India fought its own battle for independence. Kangana Ranaut plays Julia, a popular film actress based in Mumbai, and Saif Ali Khan plays a film maker smitten by Julia. One thing leads to another and the actress is sent to Burma, where she encounters a soldier named Nawab Malik, played by Shahid Kapoor. What follows is a story of love, war and deceit, in the backdrop of Rangoon. The trailer is beautifully shot, with a fantastic background score, great music ('Yeh Ishq Hai' got us addicted already) and some seriously good cinematography. While both Ranaut and Khan leave us curious with their fine act, it is Kapoor who leaves you mesmerised with his intensity and outstanding display of emotions. With a stellar cast and an excellent crew, we are sure Rangoon is ready to set the screens on fire this year.

Shahid Kapoor - The perfectionist

The actor proves why he is one of the most professional artists in Bollywood

There is no arguing that Shahid Kapoor is one of the most professional and disciplined stars in the industry today. And, it won't be wrong to call him a perfectionist. A case in point would be a recent incident. where he was shooting for a brand. Kapoor, who is currently shooting for Padmavati, took a day off to shoot for a brand commercial. The star turned out to be the brand team's dream, as he did over 44 changes for the vest brand, within a span of 5 hours, and that too without any fuss or complaints.

Everyone on the sets were floored by Shahid's energy and enthusiasm. They were pleasantly surprised when he managed to wrap up a 2-day schedule within a quick span of a few hours. Says a source, "Shahid had set aside time to shoot for the brand, despite his packed schedule for Padmavati. In order to avoid any inconvenience to the brand, he even went to the extent of doing 44 changes for the ad shoot. He managed to fit this into the 5 hours he had committed. Though one would expect those many changes to span out in the course of 2 days, Shahid managed to quickly finish them in a matter of hours and insisted on not taking any breaks to save time." Well, with new parenthood and a packed schedule, this is commendable on the actor's part. Enough reasons to love the Kapoor boy even more.

The popular retro track is reloaded as Haseeno Ka Deewana feat Urvashi Rautela

Rakesh Roshan had composed the super hit track - Saara Zamana for Yaarana in 1981. The same track has got a modern day makeover, with Urvashi Rautela sizzling in a retro reloaded version. Titled Haseeno Ka Deewana, the song is already creating buzz on social media.

The creative team has remixed Amitabh Bachchan's evergreen number (originally sung by Kishore Kumar), albeit with a twist. Speaking on this, Sanjay Gupta (director - Kaabil) said, "In our version, the song is sung by a female playback singer, Paayal Dev, and is picturised in the most ostentatious way featuring Urvashi Rautela. Those who recall Mr. Bachchan's jaw dropping outfit with bulbs on it, nothing will be left out in our song and we have attempted something very close that is sure to wow everyone. Over the weekend when this song was being shot, we had booked every single light that was available for shooting to create a similar impact at Filmistaan Studios. A huge dome was erected for the shoot and Urvashi has sizzled like never before."

Producer Rakesh Roshan adds, "The set for Haseeno Ka Deewana looked breathtaking with lights everywhere. It was an extravagant dance set! But when Urvashi walked in, her grace, poise and energy lit the set up more than the lights and she recreated the magic of the song effortlessly."

Gupta added that while the actress was very nervous to perform on the iconic song, she gave it her all and the end result is sure to blow people's mind away. "This is going to be the party anthem for sure and people will be dancing at nightclubs throughout the party season of 2016-17 and beyond," quips Gupta. Rakesh Roshan's Kaabil starring Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam and directed by Sanjay Gupta will release on Jan 25th, 2017.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati, which recently went on floors, has been in the news ever since its announcement. While the casting made some serious noise, fans were delighted to know that Shahid Kapoor was finally cast opposite Deepika Padukone for the first time. The star will essay the role of Padukone's husband, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, a just ruler and warrior, who gave his all to the battlefield. The film also stars Ranveer Singh, who has been cast as the anti-hero and Padmavati's nemesis - Allaudin Khilji.

Apart from sharing screen space with Deepika , Shahid is also working with Bhansali for the very first time and is naturally excited. Shahid was overwhelmed with the warm response he received from the filmmaker and his crew, as they welcomed him to the SLB family. The makers are fiercely guarding all the looks sported by the actor playing principal characters. We have seen that happen with all of SLB’s earlier films. However, sources reveal that Shahid looked spectacular in a royal, never-seen-before avatar as Rawal Ratan Singh.

Reveals a unit source, "Special attention is being paid to Shahid Kapoor's look and styling in the film. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to look into minute details of every character and is excited to present Shahid Kapoor in a new avatar. Shahid started shooting for Padmavati and has filmed some portions with Deepika Padukone. In fact on the very first day, he was completely overwhelmed when the entire unit clapped and cheered for him after his first shot.”

This is the first time Bhansali is making an anti-hero, that based on the tale of Hindustan’s sharp and ambitious Turk - Alauddin Khilji, and the legendary Mewar ​Queen -Padmavati. The latter was known for her beauty, intellect and the courage with which she fought her nemesis – the undefeated Khilji. Viacom18 Motion Pictures & Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati is scheduled to release on November 17, 2017.
